Patient's question:
The baby just turned one month old and noticed that their face is quite yellow. On the seventh day of birth, the jaundice level was measured at 13, which later subsided without medication. Now, the baby's face has turned yellow again, and after taking medication for three days, it has still not improved significantly. Why did it turn yellow again? Should they be checked? Should the medication continue to be taken?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the baby's condition, if there is still obvious jaundice, a blood bilirubin test needs to be performed to check the specific values. Generally, the problem is not serious, and the importance is not serious. Breastfeeding can also continue. The consideration is that it may be breast milk jaundice. If it is breast milk jaundice, it will improve quickly and gradually disappear.Question: Do I need to be checked? After taking the medicine for three days, I returned a lot. Do I need to continue taking the medicine? How often do you usually take a break? If it is breast milk jaundice, generally no medication is needed.
